A screenshot of the eBay ad for President Obama's former car, a 2005 Chrysler 300C that he drove when he announced he was running for president. The car is being auctioned off on eBay for a minimum bid of $1 million.

Does your morning commute need a little boost? How about a presidential car?

No, not the official limo. But on eBay you can get the gray 2005 Chrysler 300C that then Senator Obama used to tool around Chicago from 2004 to 2007, when he announced his bid for the White House.

So buy a piece of history, complete with leather seats, a sunroof, and a spotless accident record!

There's just one potential problem. The minimum bid is $1 million. And forget a payment plan: The full $1 million would be due to the seller 10 days after purchase.

The car is being sold by an anonymous owner and was posted by veteran eBay Motors seller Lisa Czibor, (username cubfanatic23) in the Chicago area. So far there are zero bids for the vehicle, which will be listed until Feb. 1.

According to the seller description, the car comes with “the original paperwork and the title showing that this vehicle was actually used by Barack.”

Ms. Czibor goes on to caution: “This auction is a serious auction, and please keep it as such. eBay is not a playground. We understand that many in this great country of ours have differing political views. Please keep your comments concerning the upcoming election out of this eBay auction, this is not the proper arena for those opinions.”

No wonder Czibor, who assures us that she is a “life-long Ronald Reagan old-school Conservative” and “a free market Capitalist doing whatever [she] can,” has a 100 percent positive feedback rating for her eBay work.

Per Czibor’s request, let’s put politics aside. Is the prepresidential Chrysler really worth $1 million?

The Kelley Blue Book value of a 2005 Chrysler 300C in excellent condition with 20,800 is $16,558.

Even if the car is in excellent condition and has possible historical value, $1 million is pretty steep as an asking price. It's true that in 2009, a Russian billionaire bought a blue Mercedes once owned by Adolf Hitler for $8 million, one of the examples used to justify the Obama Chrysler’s high price tag. But a Cadillac V-16 convertible used by Franklin Roosevelt as a presidential limousine was recently auctioned off for a paltry $270,000.

If you do spring for the car, you can do whatever you want with it afterward, Czibor says. She has a few suggestions: “You can put it in a museum… you could have a Hollywood Stuntman drive the Obama car off a cliff to represent Obama's economic strategies … whatever you want once it's bought & paid for,” the ad says.

What is the Monitor difference? Tackling the tough headlines – with humanity. Listening to sources – with respect. Seeing the story that others are missing by reporting what so often gets overlooked: the values that connect us. That’s Monitor reporting – news that changes how you see the world.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
